With Crawford’s injury, starting small forward Quentin Richardson will now move to shooting guard to take Crawford’s place in the starting line up.  Richardson is having a good season as he’s averaging 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.  The problem won’t be Richardson replacing Crawford……it will be Jared Jeffries starting at small forward in place of Richardson.  The Knicks gave Jeffries a lot of money when they signed him in the off season and he has not produced at all.  Jeffries is only averaging 3.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this season.  He will have to pick it up on offense or the Knicks could have problems scoring points the rest of the way.  Nate Robinson will also see a bump in playing time and he must produce when he’s on the court.  Robinson is averaging 8.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18 minutes per game.

Starting Shooting Guard Jamal Crawford will miss the remainder of the season with a stress fracture in his right ankle.  This is a huge blow to the Knicks as Crawford was having a fine season for them and was a big reason they have been competing for the playoffs all season long.  Crawford played in 58 games this season and he averaged 37.9 minutes, 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

The Knicks seemed to want this game more than the Heat did last night and that’s why they won.  Eddy Curry had an outstanding game with 28 points and 11 rebounds.  Stephon Marbury had a decent game running the offense with 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.  Jamal Crawford also had a decent game with 20 points and 6 assists.

The Knicks improved to 26-32 on the season with this win.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270226018

The Knicks played well for three quarters in this basketball game (1,2 and 4), but in the third quarter the Nets punished them 33-15 and that’s why they lost.  Stephon Marbury led the way with 22 points.  Eddy Curry also had a decent game with 18 points and 4 rebounds.

The Knicks fell to 25-32 on the season with this loss.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270225017

The game last night looked like it was heading to OT, but the refs went to video and put 0.8 seconds back on the clock + Channing Frye on the foul line.  He made both tosses and that sealed the victory for the Knicks.  Jamal Crawford led the way for the Knicks with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.  Stephon Marbury had a very solid game running the offense with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Knicks improved to 25-31 on the season with this win.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270223018
